I’ve got a podcast! When I watched the nuclear war film Threads at the age of 11 it terrified me and changed my life forever.
I started the pod to speak to other people whose lives have been changed by Threads, from cast and crew members, to extras, broadcasters, authors and super fans. Out now!

My #Beckham story. I’ve done three one-to-one interviews with him. I’d love to say he was really different and wild. I’d love to charm you with indiscreet and indecent stories. But he was exactly as you see him on TV. What a funny story!

When a pet dies, grief doesn’t arrive alone. It brings with it an awkward entourage: embarrassment, self-consciousness, the creeping suspicion that our sorrow might look disproportionate or self indulgent.
